Hey CC i have a 1995 eg6 DX and i have a water leak in the trunk/hatch area. I knew that i'd had small leaks in the past, and (sadly) didn't pay it any mind. well, now that Hurricane Sandy hit, and dumped 10 inches of rain on me, i went out to my car to check the damage, and i found about a half inch of water in the spare tire compartment, and leaks in the pictured places. any help on how to locate the exact location of the leaks would be very deeply appreciated.

this leak was so bad, that my cargo cover was literally saturated to the extent that it was getting the rear seats wet, and i had to remove it and spray it with lysol while it dries inside.


these two weren't AS bad i don't think, but still were enough to trickle down to the spare tire compartment.


sorry about the crappy iphone quality, but you should be able to see the water, and leaky areas for the most part. any and all advice and input is welcome. I'd really like to get this fixed ASAP so i can start working on other things.

Thanks

Put a bead of vaseline around all the seals, then close the hatch/door. Then open it again. Wherever the vaseline was not disturbed is where the leak is coming from. Other than that, just look for misaligned or torn seals.
